17.35 overtime rate .Thats not too bad .Maybe it wouldn’t be if it kicked in after 8 hours.
It does in principle. 4 on 4 off averages 3.5 shifts per week across the calendar year, which is 42 contracted hours per week on average, which is the rough equivalent of 5x8 hour days per week. All hours worked over the 42 are paid this rate.
Sure, on day by day basis you’re working 12 hours before O/T kicks in, but because your week’s work is concentrated into 3.5 shifts per 7 days, it condenses your hours in a strange way when working out holiday and O/T. But as I say, in principle it does kick in after 8 hours if you look at the week’s shifts as a collective, and not individually,
